As one of the few major sports where men and women can compete together on an equal footing, snooker showcased its inclusivity with this new event, televised live by ITV.

The world’s top four men – Ronnie O’Sullivan, Judd Trump, Mark Selby and Neil Robertson – were each paired with one of the top four women – Reanne Evans, Ng On Yee, Mink Nutcharut and Rebecca Kenna.

WST Chairman Steve Dawson said: “Snooker is a game for everyone, regardless of age, gender and nationality, and we have proved this with the expansion of our tour and of the sport at grassroots level. There is no reason why men and women can’t compete together.”
